important Libel Case.

Can one libel dead man? This
question, which had already been
partly answered in the case Of Reg vs.
Labouchere (thc Duke Of Vallombrosa
case). has now been finally disposed of
by Mr.. Justice Stephen at the Cardiff
assizes. To libel the dead, said this
learned Judge. in the course Of most
lucid and interesting Judgment, is not
an ofeuse known % our law; for ''the
dead have no rights aud can suffer no
wrongs" But let the blasphemer be-
ware. For, though you can not libel
dead man. you can libel living man
under the mask of a dead one. and in
that case the law has you in its
clutches. For instance, there are
terms Of abuse which, taken literally,
reflect only on the character of a
mans mother, but which are never
theless libelous even if the mother be
dead, since their obvious intent il 20
traduce the living. Alike in his rule
and in his exceptions, Mr. Justice
Stephens judgment seems excellent
good sense. 1t leaves the dead no
worse Off than before-they have still
Two 10 defend them, God and tho
worn" and it takes a grievous bur
den off the shoulders Of living editors.

WASHINGTON, March 19-During the past

notes of small denominations Most Of the
shipments were in $50, Sl0-and s. silver GER
tificates and United States notes. The
Treasury is also issuing - and 81 silver
certificates at the rate Of SloJ,OO0 day. It
is said at the department that the present
demand for small notes is apparently fic-

the part Of certain tiInid bankers to securs

And listen anew with glad surprise.

they sat at the table. During the progress
of the meal a stranger, who had arrived
at the station that morning, and was
present when the stage came, ran to the
vehicle and seized the valise, jumped on
horse standing near, and was off

party sprang for their guns and
ran Out firing several shots at the flying
desperado without effect Mounting the
stage horses, they followed the fugitive,
who turned in his saddle and fired sever

affirmative in the great case of Mccall

REORGANIZATION.

The Raleigh On. O. Observer COM
mends strongly the Roanoke platform,
and dwells especially upon the reso-
luton Of the convention providing for
the immediate reorganization of the
party. 1t well says:
Here our Virginia brethren led the
way in matter of importance to the
Democracy of the whole South. Or
gsnizatiOn is more than half of any
political battle, and we should in every
tate now be turning our attention
thereto with a purpose of going to
wolk earnestly for the party. Unless
We look in time and carefully to the
matter of organization we cannot ex-
pct discipline on the day of election. !"
The State Ccntrai Committee OF the
Democratic party of Virginia was au-
thorized by the Roanoke convention
TO adopt plan of county and city or
ganization, and to provide for the i'm
mediate reorganization of the party in
each city and county OF the Common
wealth. But we should think the
work could he better done by the State
Executive Committee. 1t is not I'M
probable that the Committee on the
Platform as well as the author of the
resolution meant that the work should
be done by the State Executive Com
mittee. at any rate, it is an important
matter, seeing that the reorganization
will supersede the present organization,
so the resolution provides, Sin each
city and county of the Common
wealth"

Arteslan Wells.

In Atlanta, Ga, the other day, the
action OF the Board of Health in con-
demning a half-dozen wells located in
the heart of the city attracted the undi-
vided attention of every Atlantian and
created discussion throughout the
city relative to the purity of the water
in daily use. Many persons, adds the
Constitution, more skeptical than
others, became alarmed, and in many
families all water except Artesian water
was condemned.
Artesian wells are becoming wonder
fully popular. They are talking OF
boring some in Norfolk. Persons who
drink from city wells would be benefited
by reading what Professor McCAND-
LESS, of Atlanta, says. We quote:
water may contain little or no salt
and solid matter and be very unwhole-
some. For instance, a once pure well
IN which dead rat is decomposing and
communicating the water. Now, II we
relied solely on the amount OF total
solids and salt in this water, which
might be very small, We should go
wong and cali that pure water which
was very impure"
81 have shown you how any well, it
matters not how good the water naturally
is, may be spoiled. A piece of meat, a
dead rat, or a plank decaying in it
makes it bad. Then the seam may
leak and be near a sewer. In a thickly
settled city like this, where the soil
has been saturated with filth for years,
a well under the Constitution building,
which is on top of a hill, might be just
as filthy as the one under this bank
binding is. Wells on hills out Peach
tree ere pure so are they at other
points"
"How is The Artesian water?"
~ think it a most excellent water,
but not much better, if any, than the
y,atfr-VOrks water"
